THE PANAMA CANAL.

Rumor that De Lesseps Has Offered Two
Fifths of the Stock to Germany.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WAsHINGToN, March 2C.-The Sunday Herald
to-day publishes story to the effect that on
Wednesday last New York banking house
received a telegram from its correspondent at
Frankfort stating that NJ 10 Comte De Les
seps had offered Germany an interest equal to
two-ffths of the whole in the interoceanic
canal, and pointed out what bond of peace il
would be between the two nations if they
jointly owned and controlled such work He
also said that of the ifty-five miles in length,
twenty seven were excavated ten feet deep, and
eight miles the entire depth, and that he had
built dam across the mouth of the wodk to
prevent the sea water coming in. There was
every probability, the communication sad that
the proposition would be accepted. The Frank
fort banks wanted to know. in case the matter
was consummated, what effect it would have on
American securities. Continuing, the Herald's
story says:
England is left out of the deal. Being q
commercial nation she is not at all pleased. As
canal across the isthmus would reduce the
time between Great Britain and her south
Pacific and other colonies by steam twenty
four days, next to our interest England's is
greatest in having such work under tha con-
troll of friendly nation. This is the news as it
comes from unquestionable sources"

GOLD In THE FAR NORTH WEST.
A Discovery That May Lead to Serious Trouble

Special to the Indianapolis journal.

Special to the Indianapolis journal.
OTTAWA, Ont, March 20.-The discovery Of
rich gold deposits in British Columbia. close to
the imaginary boundary line between that prov
ince and Alaska, it is feared may lead to serious
trouble if the actual boundary is not defined be-
fore any attempt is made to develop these valu-
able fields. In view of the valuable discovery of
gold in the Pacific province, the Dominion gov
ernmenr has decided on sending out party to
make a geological survey of that part of the
country in which minerals have been found ard
to ascertain, as near as possible, to whom they
belong-whether to the United States or to the
Dominion. The party will, II is expect
ed, leave here for the YukbA district in
April DIR. Bell. assistant chief Of the
geological survey. says he believes the valuable
mining lands between the headwaters of the
Lewis river and Mount st. Elias will become a
source of dispute between the United States
and Canada, on account of the indefinite bound
ary line.
Referring to the country between the head
waters of the Lewis river and Mount st. Elias,
which lies directly west of it. which abounds in
silver, copper, lead and iron ore, DR.. Bell says
that as the Americans have got ahead of Canada
in the territorial deal, and as the Dominion must
not look forward quietly to being done out of
this valuable territory, which, he maintains,
properly belongs TO Cnnada, effort will be
made during the coming session of Parliament
to secure an appropriation to commence survey
OF the British Columbia boundary, in the hope
that the United States government will coop
crate and definitely fix the boundary line, and
thus remove all possibility of dispute.
